On one side is the vast rain forest, on the other side is the mysterious death swamp. I understand that opportunities and dangers coexist!
Then I continued to grill and heat some food. No matter what changes there may be today or what kind of luck there may be, I naturally need to replenish my physical strength before taking action!
Sure enough, the aroma of the food and the sheen of oil quickly attracted these people to wake up. Everyone kept as quiet as they should and watched me hand out food to everyone! I ate a little carefully first, letting the food sit at the bottom of my obviously atrophied stomach after I chewed it slowly.
Then I continued to make preparations. I added two pieces of wood with thick arms to the sides, front and rear of the raft to fix it, making the raft have sides like a ship. Because this way the raft has a low baffle wall. The purpose is naturally to prevent these people from having an accident if they encounter an accident in the swamp.
Because whether it is a wooden raft or a bamboo raft, the biggest threat is the side! I am not doing this to add anything to the problem, but to have the best preparation and more choices when entering the swamp!
Although the water in the swamp is not deep, if you encounter mud obstacles or the water surface becomes unstable and tilts, your feet will not slip off the raft and fall if you are on the raft.
Because Feng Biwei and Zhu Zizhen had repeatedly reminded me that there would definitely be huge danger if I accidentally entered the water or stepped into the mud. Of course, I also understand that just the mud that is enough to make people sink into is enough to make people frightened!
In fact, if I do this, there is an excellent purpose. That is to prevent dangerous creatures from coming up to the raft where we live. We will have temporary protection and then have enough time to react, so we will not be in a hurry!
After all, the swamp that poses a great threat must be called the Death Swamp because of some terrifying reasons!
Originally, in my imagination, as long as it was safe for us to enter the swamp, we would basically be fine! But when even Feng Biwei admired the raft I had finished, she said that we must still carry Yuan Jianning's stretcher.
Needless to say, walking on water or swamps is dangerous. Having this stretcher by your side also gives Yuan Jianning a place to lie down! After all, this is the best way! Today's Yuan Jianning cannot be like us, because he has really never acted on his own since he fell into coma!
Of course, what really alarmed us, and even made me a little speechless because of what we suddenly heard, was that Feng Biwei told me that even if we passed through the swamp and finally got out of the neighborhood smoothly, we would have to walk more than ten miles. It's a large area of rainforest.
That is to say, after leaving the swamp, there is still a large wetland, and even this wetland seems to be very close to the rainforest plants! It should be either an extension of the swamp or the degradation of the rainforest vegetation!
It is said that the water plants nearby are completely unpredictable, and it is impossible to know the depth of this rainforest and the exact extent of the surrounding swamps! Speaking of which, it must be a huge trouble for us! Because we have wounded people, it will be a huge trouble to move!
Now if we go into the swamp, sometimes we may have to follow the direction of the water flow, because after all, the water area in the swamp is not small. How can we really use the water surface? It is naturally much better than walking in the mud! So we might be in the swamp and keep going around and around. If you're lucky, you won't have to walk more than 20 kilometers to leave the wetland, so even if you leave the swamp as quickly as possible, you won't be able to get out in a day!
This corresponds to what Aneng said, so I am worried about whether I will encounter wild beasts or some ferocious aquatic creatures when I enter the swamp. Even if it rains, it may be a bigger trouble for us.
So I started preparing yesterday. I had to find some thin vines and accessories, knit some hats that could protect me from the rain, and add some big leaves, even banana leaves to block the rain. This makes it look like a hat, which obviously prevents you from being exposed to the rain or being directly exposed to the sun!
At that time, Zhu Zixiang also came up with an idea. For the time being, we could build a simple frame on the raft using branches as thick as two or three fingers, and spread some thatch on top to make an awning. In this way, the injured people can be covered underneath at any time, and finally other accidents can be prevented!
This actually made me praise her. Indeed, I really didn't think about it. As the finished product gradually appeared, I even cut a few pieces of bark and fixed them directly on the shed, which made her a little proud.
We were busy and eating here, and saw that the people on Aneng's side had already packed up a little and went to the raft early. Obviously yesterday's failure made them more worried! At this time, you can experiment in advance, and naturally let them take a cautious look to see if it will be as embarrassing as yesterday!
Seeing everyone standing on the raft, I still have some feelings in my heart. Because they made a larger one, two or three meters longer than this big raft! As expected, Song Zhang successfully joined the three people and successfully stood on the raft. But the rest of the people, along with him, seemed to have a bit of a bad look on their faces. It seemed like he would worry at any time whether the raft with him would tilt up!
I didn't have time to think about this, but Aneng came over here, seemingly to ask Ni Yuewen if she wanted to go on the raft with them, but Ni Yuewen seemed very calm and didn't seem to want me to think too much! He even said that since everyone was together, he asked Yuanyuan to stay with him for a while and stay with us here. I don't know what Ni Yuewen thinks, but I don't care too much. After all, these have no real impact on me!
Finally, Huang Jianfen took Tang Tang, Xiao Min, Feng Biwei and the little girl onto a raft. Zhang Peipei took Ou Xiang and Lan Fang, as well as Ling Mei and Zhu Zini, and occupied a raft. The rest were me taking Luo Xiaoshan, Yuan Jianning who was still unresponsive, plus Ni Yuewen and Yuanyuan, and even Wu Qiong who had back problems and Liu Huan who was quiet.
Because there were quite a few people from Aneng and the others, I didn’t squeeze in with them and set off! They ended up with seven large and small rafts, plus our three rafts. After descending into the swamp one after another, it looked really majestic and a bit amazing.
Of course we didn't notice that when we all entered the swamp one after another and paddled forward in the water, there was someone standing on a big tree branch at the place where we started to live, quietly watching us leave!
